He came to the Fengqiao Experience Exhibition Hall to review the birth and evolution of the "Fengqiao Experience" and understand the innovative development of the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era.
At the western foot of the Kuaiji Mountains, in Fengqiao Town, Zhuji, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, a handwritten instruction from Comrade Mao Zedong to learn and promote the "Fengqiao Experience" is preserved in the Fengqiao Experience Exhibition Hall, witnessing a period of "grassroots wisdom" contributing to national governance.
The "Fengqiao Experience", born in the 1960s, originated from the creation of cadres and masses in Fengqiao, Zhuji, and the vivid practice of political and legal work. In 1963, Comrade Mao Zedong personally instructed, "We should follow suit in various regions, carry out pilot projects, and promote it."
"Mobilizing and relying on the masses, adhering to the principle of not surrendering conflicts, resolving them on the spot, and achieving fewer arrests and better public security..." Accompanied by the murmuring water of the Fengxi River, the "Fengqiao Experience" starts from Fengqiao, constantly advancing with the times, creatively solving social contradictions and problems in different periods, reflecting sustained and vigorous vitality, and becoming a banner of the national political and legal comprehensive governance front.

As one of the birthplaces of the "Fengqiao Experience", Fengyuan Village in Fengqiao Town has achieved "zero petitions from the masses, zero violations of discipline by cadres, zero criminal offenses by the people, and zero cults among villagers" for 18 consecutive years. The secret is to rely on the experience of Fengqiao. Local officials explained that "zero petitioning" does not mean that there is nothing going on in the village, but rather that village officials come to the village first and solve the problem as soon as possible before the villagers petition.
The Fengqiao experience has been enriched and developed in practice, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, forming a distinctive new era of Fengqiao experience. Its connotation is to adhere to and implement the Party's mass line, under the leadership of the Party, fully mobilize the masses, organize the masses, and rely on the masses to solve their own problems, achieving the goal of "not leaving the village for small matters, not leaving the town for major matters, and not handing over conflicts".
Adapting to the requirements of the new era, the "Fengqiao Experience" constantly radiates new vitality and has become a synonym for relying on the masses to innovate in grassroots social governance.

Along the way, the "Fengqiao Experience" has regarded the people and relying on them as the fundamental point of its innovative development. It has enriched and developed in the great practice of the new era, withstood the test of time, and demonstrated a timeless charm.
